The highlight of every school class

School trips are a wonderful opportunity for students to discover new places, gain experience and create unforgettable memories. Being properly prepared for this is the be-all and end-all when it comes to a school trip packing list. It doesn't matter whether the school trip is to a ski resort, the North Sea coast or a big city like Berlin. The important thing is to pack only the essentials so that you don't have to carry any unnecessary baggage. This can be avoided particularly quickly if you find out what the weather conditions are like at your destination.

Coach travel is a popular and practical option for school trips, and we offer a comprehensive range of services for such trips. At agt, school trips by coach are valued for their flexibility, speed, safety, comfort, economy and environmental friendliness. We work with external bus partners to coordinate a large number of trips each year, with strict quality guidelines in place for the buses.

The importance of careful planning and organization of school trips, especially considering unforeseeable events such as strikes or pandemics. We offer solutions that make planning easier for teachers while ensuring a safe and enjoyable travel experience for students.

Preparations for a school trip start with the packing list. This should consist of documents, clothing, hygiene articles, medication, electronics and extras. As most school trips in Germany last 5 days, this article focuses on a packing list for a 5-day school trip. Personal requirements may vary from person to person, so this school trip packing list is intended solely as an example.

Prioritization of the school trip

It's not just the pupils who have to think about the school trip. It is the responsibility of the teaching staff to make the trip as exciting as possible for the students. The outward and return journey to the destination should be planned after the key dates have been jointly determined.

The general preparation of a school trip requires comprehensive planning and organization. Teachers must familiarize themselves with the legal framework of their federal state and check their liability insurance. It is important to involve parents and pupils through information events such as parents' evenings. Planning includes the selection of dates and destinations, the organization of projects and excursions as well as the approval of the school management and the school board. Careful financial planning is also essential.

The safety of the students during the trip is of paramount importance. At least one teacher should have first aid knowledge and carry a first aid kit. Important contact details and addresses should also be to hand.

The class trip program can include a wide range of activities, from educational visits to sports and team-building activities. After the trip, it is important to gather feedback and record memories in an album or photo collage. Reflecting on the class trip in class helps to integrate the experiences into everyday school life and promote the personal development of the pupils.

The cheapest means of transportation after public transport is often the coach. The coach is not only cost-effective, but also very sustainable in transportation. According to the bdo Bundesverband Deutscher Omnibusunternehmen e. V., the coach is the vehicle with the lowest energy consumption. Emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter are also the lowest compared to other means of transport.

You can find out what requirements must be met in order to book such a coach in this PDF. When booking, you should be informed about Travel start, destination, travel dates, travel times and number of passengers. In our guide, we inform you about the costs of a school trip.
